Child & Family Services, with a location in Fall River, recently cut the ribbon on its mobile crisis van, which will provide targeted services within the city, and in the other 21 communities it serves, supplementing its work as one of 27 community behavioral health centers across the Commonwealth.
Pam Bolarinho, Vice President of Acute Care Services, says the mobile van will take behavioral health and crisis care to where people are.
Another benefit to having the van within the community is to take pressure off emergency and urgent care facilities, which are often called upon to handle behavioral health crises.
Child & Family Services CEO Wendy Botelho says the Fall River area van will be deployed by the end of the summer.
